Morocco: Asilah

Asilah means authentic, and I found this charming seaside town to live up to its name.

Each year, the town holds a festival for artists and they end up painting a mural. I loved seeing all the beautiful art across the medina, the old town, even though they replace a lot of the murals to make space for the next.

That cat is actually me.

This man handcrafts djellabas and caftans for people who bring him fabric.

All day long, the sky was threatening rain.

Because textures of textiles. And blue.This guy was using a loom to make his various textiles, which included blankets and towels that he described as being good for the beach.

I spent at least half an hour watching these two cats frolic and chase each other.Jamels jamillas! (No, that is not the correct plural…)
